Johnlow_86 I think Kaka is a great player but Pato is­ just a publicity article. He is no better than players­ like Walcott, Lennon and the young english players that­ you watch in the Primier League. May be in future he­ may stand a chance to out play them but until then,­ I´ll be posted right here on the street rain, hail ,­ snow.

Are you on drugs Nathan???? Best form for 2 years....­ weren't they top after 10 games under Sven last­ season? They'll be very lucky to make the top 6­ this season!

Liverpool are playing well at the moment , but if they­ get into the semi finals of either the champions league­ or the fa cup they will drop away in the premier league­ . As good as a team as they are they can't compete­ on three fronts and it seems to be it the premier­ league that they lose out on . I think that it'll­ be United and Chelsea again this season , with City­ beginning to compete more next year , however it'll­ take them at least a couple of season's to get­ everything in place to maybe win the league

robinho should stay at man city till end of next­ season, then access where city are at.

Mark, what do u say? Are you watching different version­ of premier league? Drogba! ask, Sir Alex Fergie, how­ his heart thump when Drogba is on field against his­ team. U forget how he single handedly finish Arsenal­ last season. Open ur eye.

as a man united fan i remember b4 fergusons dynasty­ that united had a team of expensive or highly rated­ individuals who didnt do much if captain marvel didnt­ play
teambuilding and good stewardship is as important­ as the money the money if used correctly is the edge­ and makes the difference
whilst i respect mark hughes­ and his ambition i would have thought the moneybags­ arab city would have picked a manager that had actually­ won something
i'm sure sven could have done a bit­ if hed had the facility to bring in some consistent­ quality players
robinho will be gone within a year when­ the novelty wears off and he realises he could easily­ get the chance to play in the champions league which­ frankly if he waited for the chance at city i think his­ career would be almost over!!!
john terry indeed dont­ make me laugh maybe when hes 37 yes!!

What credit crunch? City's owners haven't said­ they will be cutting back on the pot MH has to utilise­ in January, on the contrary, it's bottomless.
I­ personally think that Chelsea no longer have the lure­ and pull of cash that they had and the chances of now­ prying Robinho out are slim. In fact the foot is on the­ other hand, City could rip the heart out of Chelsea­ with offers for Terry and Bridges (we are desperate for­ a decent left back..and Bridges fits the bill nicely).

I hope robinho stay at manchester city...

art_tidesco who are you kidding? Chelsea may finish­ 2nd behind Utd but the hub cap thieves have no chance. ­ You have to be the best team in the league to win it­ and Liverpool are only there by picking up a lot of­ lucky points. Watch them fall away over the Christmas­ period, luck will desert them soon and they don't­ have the ability to sustain a serious challenge. Top 4­ certs all the same. Looks like Villa might replace­ Arsenal.

John Terry will leave Chelsea?? I hope that day no­ coming soon.. Hope Scolari think properly.. Robinho­ will come Chelsea?? The only reason Robinho will join­ Chelsea is Chelsea can offer more higher salary from­ Man.City.. How about Chelsea finances?? Why dont sign­ other better player like Kaka,Pato,etc..

You Chelsea fans are failing to remember before­ Abramovich's money you were a second rate club in­ Arsenal's and Tottenham's shadow, buying second­ rate players (e.g. Craig Burley, Gavin Peacock, Frank­ Sinclair etc etc...). So I find it disappointing that­ some of you are dismissing the possibility of City­ enticing high profile players! Money talks and you­ Chelsea fans more than anyone else should know this!

There is little doubt that the credit crunch will hit­ football but this is not the reason Chelsea have curbed­ their spending. Roman's plan was always to inject­ big money at the onset, not only in transfers but also­ investment in the accademy. The aim was always to make­ the club self-sufficient and eventually repay it's­ debt to the owner. That is why Chelsea wouldn't­ pay the money for Alves but signed Boularouz instead. ­ They also wouldn't pay enough for Robinho. But­ don't be fooled, if the right came up Roman still­ ain't short of a few quid. And City.... forget all­ about JT, he's 'Chelsea till I die'.

Terry will never leave Chelsea. Owen for £1m?. Would he­ fit in at City. Robinho didn't know there were two­ clubs in Manchester. I reckon if Chelsea came in with a­ bid he'd be off. Ultimately no matter how much­ money the arabs pump in City will always be City. If­ anything there can go wrong ..... it will!

Scolari knows he's got limited finances. Who would­ Chelsea want anyway?

Offloading John Terry? John would­ rather get relegated than leave Chelsea. His team-mates­ and coach feel the same way.

Scolari has learned­ things about the Premiership well. When Ferguson tried­ to play the mind games, Scolari 'opened the­ door' for Cristiano Ronaldo, and that sure shut the­ Scot up!

Robinho will want trophies soon, and­ he'll leave City himself. Aston Villa and Everton­ are more likely to make the top four than City are.­ City have money, but if the players they target­ don't want to leave their clubs (or their clubs­ don't want to let them go), all that money is­ wasted.

robinho will be better staying with man city; they are­ developing side and he can be the key figure of the­ team. If he joins chelsea he will be fighting for his­ place and dominance on the pitch. scolari talks too­ much; he has opened his door to ronaldo and robinho;­ when will his door shut.

Scolari knows he needs a top class striker. Anelka and­ Drogba can't score goals agaist Tier 1 teams. ­ Check it out - go see powertable

What @#$% about the credit crunch DUH! -Abu Dhabi and­ Abramovich both get rich from OIL -it tripled and went­ back to its normal level. So huge winfall and now back­ to mega-wealth. £60 million is a joke to the likes of­ Abramovich -pocket money. Don't judge his wealth by­ your standards -you can't.
